Cuiqiao's curses lingered in the quiet night sky. Even though the abandoned general's mansion was quite vast, the faint human voice still passed through the general's mansion and reached a group of Jinwu guards patrolling here. in the ears.
Fortunately, Chao Lu had always been very alert to the movements outside, so when she noticed movement outside the general's mansion, she just forced Cui Qiao to leave the abandoned general's mansion.
Otherwise, they might have to pay forty bucks just for wandering outside during the curfew.
Naturally, when the team of Jinwu Guards entered the inner palace, they found nothing. For a moment, the timid people just thought that the general's palace was haunted.
After that, the haunted rumors spread among the neighbors.
Of course, these are all things for later.
When the four of them escaped back to Qinglan Courtyard with the help of their Qinggong skills, Jiang Nianjiao was personally looking through the account books sent by the shopkeepers this time.
Chunhua seemed extremely uneasy, while late winter tried to divert Jiang Nianjiao's attention.
From time to time, she would add water to Jiang Nianjiao and pass her cakes.
Chunhua also reminded in a low voice, "Miss, you have to attend Grandma Li's etiquette class tomorrow. It's getting late now, so you might as well go and have a rest early. Just let the slaves check this account book. If you find anything wrong, , the maid must report to the lady in time."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao glanced at Chunhua, but she was not very friendly. She directly ordered, "Go down and rest first."
Chunhua was obviously not happy, and was hesitantly thinking that he would stay here so that if the young lady had any questions, she could answer them in time. However, Jiang Nianjiao was one step ahead of her and added, "If there is anything else to say tomorrow, If there is anything wrong, I will naturally come to you to inquire."
After saying that, she continued to look at the account book without waiting for Chunhua's response.
Although late winter is not as smart as Chunhua, he knows Jiang Nianjiao's temper best. Once the eldest lady decides to do something, others can easily divert her attention.
And if it makes her unhappy, I'm afraid she will inevitably be punished.
So she just winked at Chunhua and signaled him to go down first.
Although Chunhua was reluctant, she was helpless.
After some thought, she finally left the house, but instead of going to her own house, she turned around to find Yu Se.
After all, there are serious problems with these accounts this year, and although she only recently took over the accounting, she is also very aware of the fishiness involved.
She didn't want to be the one to take the blame before the oil and water were officially fished out.
Not long after she left, Jiang Nianjiao only said to Wan Dong, "Okay, you can go and rest too."
"But the slave has to wait for the master to rest." Wan Dong whispered.
Jiang Nianjiao said impatiently, "Then go and call Lianying over."
Late Winter's thoughts were not as deep as Chunhua's. She was indeed tired and sleepy after standing for so long.
Now that Jiang Nianjiao said she wanted to find someone to support her, she naturally went down without hesitation.
But just as she opened the door, she saw an angry Cui Qiao barging into Jiang Nianjiao's house.
Before late winter could even greet Cui Qiao, Cui Qiao rushed straight into the house.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw Cui Qiao coming back, she also said to Wan Dong, "Okay, I have Cui Qiao to take care of me. You can just go down and rest."
When I heard this in late winter, I naturally didn’t stop.
Although she didn't know where Cuiqiao had gone, she was not a prostitute in the house, so her whereabouts had always been free.
And since she came, the young lady no longer has to take turns with the four maids at night.
Basically, Na Cuiqiao and the eldest lady sleep in the same room.
After late winter left, Cui Qiao had already poured herself a large pot of tea. Even so, she still said angrily, "Yu Shisan, this traitor! Don't let me meet him next time! Otherwise, I will kill him You can’t tear out your skin and muscles!”
Jiang Nianjiao naturally had no intention of looking at the false accounts that were obviously framed by her at this time. She just smiled and said, "Why did Thirteen offend you again?"
Cui Qiao immediately elaborated on how Yu Shisan took away the man in black robe that they had subdued together.
When Jiang Nianjiao heard Cui Qiao say that the person had been taken away by Thirteen, Jiang Nianjiao felt relieved.
Although she also wanted to find out some scandals about his relationship with Yu Se from the man in black robe.
However, even if she didn't understand anything, she could clearly feel that there was power behind Yu Se.
Moreover, Jiang Nianjiao cannot control this force at all.
And Yu Shisan belongs to the third prince Zhao Yanzhen. If Zhao Yanzhen continues to investigate this matter, she will feel more relieved.
"If it's gone, it's gone. Anyway, Thirteen's master will definitely greet that person well." Jiang Nianjiao said nonchalantly.
Cui Qiao was extremely angry and said, "But that's the murderer who caused Luo Hua's sisters to remain missing!"
Hearing Cui Qiao's words, Jiang Nianjiao was also stunned. If she couldn't get Liu Yun's whereabouts from that person's mouth. Luohua and the three of them are indeed difficult to explain.
She pondered for a while, then opened only one window in the room, and said loudly to the three people hiding in the night, "Don't worry, girls, I will definitely get Liu Yun's whereabouts for you!" "
There was silence in the yard. It took a long time before I heard a childish but decisive female voice saying, "Everything depends on the master."
Chunhua was in a daze on the way to the Garden of Thoughts. When Yu Se allowed her to go inside to meet him, she almost didn't notice the high threshold under her feet and almost waited for her when she entered the house. Yu Se looked at her and bowed to the ground.
Fortunately, the eldest girl beside Yu Se, You Ling, had quick eyesight and quick hands, so she could only support her.
She didn't fall directly to the ground.
Yu Se was sitting in front of the Arhat couch in the inner room. Her long hair had fallen down and she was dressed in a mid-length coat. She had obviously fallen asleep, but woke up because of Chunhua's urgent request to see her.
"What's going on? Why do you look so distracted?" Yu Se yawned and asked lazily.
"Madam, something serious has happened! The eldest lady is now in the room personally checking the account books sent by the shopkeepers of various manors." Chunhua said in despair.
Yu Se didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, but she still asked You Ling to check again to see if anyone was eavesdropping.
After confirming that there was no one there, Yu Se just said nonchalantly, "The manor's account books have always been very smooth. What kind of knowledge can she, a layman, see? Is this worth your fuss?"
Chunhua could only continue to lean down and said, "Miss is no amateur at all now. I look at her as if she has an expert to guide me. Some of the questions she asked made me speechless. I look at this account and it's not clean." I'm afraid the eldest lady will find out about this matter sooner or later! My maid has only been taking care of this matter recently. If something happens, my maid cannot bear the responsibility!"
She sounded pitiful, but Yu Se naturally could tell that she wanted to accuse her out of her words.
How could Yu Se let her get ashore so easily, so she just whispered, "Luo Ruo didn't share your money less when he was in charge of the accounts. Luo Ruo is not a generous owner, can he share money without any reason? Besides, you If you can find me, you should know a lot of inside information, right?"
As soon as Yu Se said these two words, Chunhua was so frightened that she just sat down on the blue brocade cashmere carpet.
Luo Ruo had indeed dragged them all into the water back then, and everyone got a share of the money from the eldest lady.
Even after they tasted the benefits, they also helped to cover up and did many wrong things.
After a long time, she knelt on the ground again and said, "Madam, I know your mistake! Please save my life, madam!"
Luo Ruo's fate was still vivid in her mind, and she didn't want to end up worse than Luo Ruo because of Luo Ruo.
Yu Se didn't answer her immediately. He was already upset tonight. The man in black robe who went out to hunt for her hadn't come back yet, and now Jiang Nianjiao was giving her troubles again.
She only frowned when she thought of this, and there was a moment of murderous intent in her eyes.
After thinking for a long time, she said to Chunhua, "Okay, I will take care of this matter. You don't have to worry about anything. If she comes to you tomorrow and tells you that she found something wrong, just tell the truth."
After hearing what Yu Se said, Chunhua was even more distracted.
"If the madam tells the truth and the eldest lady continues to investigate, then won't the events of these years no longer be hidden?" Chunhua obviously didn't know Yu Se's intentions, she said tremblingly.
Yu Se only gave her a cold look.
, why is this girl so stupid now?
Judging from Jiang Nianjiao's behavior during this period, sooner or later, this matter will be inevitable. She actually wanted to hide it.
"Just say it! And not only say it, it's best to make her think about going to the nearby Zhuangzi to investigate. Anyway, it's not as you said. You have just taken over this matter now. Even if there is a problem with the accounts, then there is nothing wrong with it. It’s not your fault. As for what happens next, you don’t have to worry about it.”
At this point in Yu Se's words, Chunhua finally understood what Yu Se meant.
It's just that she knew that Madam was not as kind as the rumors, but she didn't expect that she would dare to do such a dirty trick.
Later, in order to win Chunhua's attention, Yu Se ordered Youlian to take some broken silver and reward it to Chunhua.
After Chunhua left, Youling said softly, "Madam, is this going to be too risky? If I let the master know..."...
Yu Se interrupted her directly, "But he won't care if a daughter who is now irrelevant dies."
After leaving this light sentence, Yu Se, who was still upset, just said to Youling, "Okay, you don't have to guard me tonight. Go back to your room."
You Ling said with a hint of worry, "But if the assassin leaves, he will come back."
"If they leave and come back, can you protect me?" Yu Se asked back.
"Anyway, it's just a cheap life. If it's gone, it will be a dead end." Then Yu Se said something that seemed to be self-deprecating, and also seemed to be sighing.
Without waiting for You Ling to explain, she went back to the inner room by herself.
Now the night is getting darker and darker, the wind is blowing outside the window, the bamboo shadows are shimmering, and the shadows of the trees projected on the window coffins are like spies with malicious intentions.
Yu Se just sat alone at the table. When another drop of tears fell from the candle in front of the table, she seemed to have made up her mind. She took out a small flute from her arms and then played it in front of her lips.
